The AC is composed of three private sector members, two public sector members, and two IRRI representatives plus the HRDC coordinator. The Advisory Committee is chaired by the IRRI Deputy Director General for Research or his/her representative.

In consultation with the HRDC Advisory Committee, IRRI maintains interaction between HRDC programs and other relevant IRRI programs.

Moving forward, HRDC will focus on delivering high-value upstream material (segregating population) and fixed parental lines. However HRDC may continue to develop hybrids if requested by members, after consultation with the Technical and Advisory Committees.

In 2016, HRDC shared 12 A lines and 15 R lines. In addition to these A and R lines, F2 seeds of select R/R and B/B crosses will be shared together with information on different target trait markers to allow for easy selection. In addition, as a ‘welcome kit,’ HRDC will provide 40 lines already available (released varietal germplasm plus parental lines) to all new members. Existing members who have not availed of these lines in the past can also receive these lines from HRDC without any additional cost.

HRDC will first provide A lines for research and breeding purposes. Members are encouraged to share their results with HRDC on the performance of these lines. For a second time, and based on the members’ evaluation, B lines of top-performing A lines will be made available. With the collective results coming from HRDC members representing agro-climatic conditions across the world, HRDC would focus on such identified A/B couples for further improvement.

This will involve sharing a few F2 elite breeding lines and BC1F2 populations derived from B × B or R × R crosses to HRDC members to allow for selection in different target sites and pooling together for genotyping and further phenotyping. The promising products derived from this shuttle breeding program will be available for free to all participating HRDC members. Results will be jointly published in peer-reviewed journal(s).
